My insecurities are holding me back---- keeping from enjoying my life. I am so self-conscious every second of every day that it consumes me. It has led to compulsive behavior and severe anxiety and depression. I want to feel liked by the people in my life so badly that I lose sight of what is best for me and I end up neglecting myself and my needs. I feel like the real me, the happy me that I used to be, rarely makes an appearance anymore. I really miss being her. I think the more I get hurt and denied, the farther out of reach she gets. I should be fighting to find her again, but instead I do the exact opposite. All of the negative thoughts and feelings about myself drive her farther away. I just want to start having confidence in, believing in & loving myself again. I want the negative thoughts to go away and I have no one that I can talk to about it. I have a number of wonderful people in my life, yet I feel so lonely because I don’t want them to know.

Hello

have you spoken to your doctor about how you are feeling?

these kinds of life impacting emotions, anxieties etc dont just "happen"...there is usually either a physiological or emotional trigger for them. Having a checkup, with bloodwork, is the first step

If nothing is out physically, then hopefully your doc will refer you to a psychologist who may be able to help you work out why you are experiencing this, and help you find yourself again

I hope things get better for you soon

I definitely think talking to your doctor will start you on a new vision, a new place in time if you will, that shows you that you are still that person you used to be, that you just have to find her again.

It could be a lot of insecurities, a lot of worries, a lot of depression, or many other things, but regain that old you back, and go and check with your doctor how.

Best,

Clyde
